Cabbage 'Tete Noire'

Cabbage 'Tete Noire' is a stunning and unusual heirloom variety of Savoy cabbage, highly prized in the UK for its striking dark purple-green, crinkled leaves and excellent flavour. This compact, autumn-maturing cabbage forms dense, medium-sized heads, making it ideal for smaller plots or overwintering. The flavour is sweet and tender, perfect for traditional winter dishes, and its attractive appearance adds visual interest to the vegetable garden. 'Tete Noire' prefers fertile, well-drained soil and a sunny position. Adequate moisture is important, especially during head formation, to ensure plump and healthy cabbages. A true gourmet choice.
